Noble Lady

"Fang Rui."

Xue Chenyu turned around and went out, and whispered Fang Rui's name in the yard.

After a while, he brought a masked secret guard down with him using lightness skills.

"Your prince is asleep in there, please take him away."

Fang Rui looked embarrassed. "...I'm sorry, Miss Xue. The prince is not like this usually. He was drunk today, and I couldn't stop him."

"Yes, I know. I won't take his drunken talk seriously. You should take him back. Otherwise, if others see a man and a woman alone in the same room, the prince and I won't be able to explain it to them."

Fang Rui nodded, thanked him, and went into the house with the secret guard and carried Situ Zhen away.

They left right away.

Soon after, Qiuhua, Xiahe and Weng Xuemei, who were skilled in martial arts, showed up.

Xue Chenyu glanced over and said, "If anyone dares to reveal a word about what happened tonight, watch your mouth."

He paused, then glanced at Weng Xuemei deliberately, "And you, you're full of evil ideas, so tone it down a bit."

Then, turn around and go back to the house.

Qiuhua and Xiahe looked at each other, then went back to the house honestly, giving Weng Xuemei a look that told her to wish her the best.

Weng Xuemei: “…” Junior Master-Uncle is so lame that he can’t even express his feelings to the girl.

And you want her to be implicated, huh!

I must ask him for some New Year’s money tomorrow!

……

Get up early on the first day of the new year.

When Situ Zhen woke up from the big bed in Songyuyuan, he felt his temples throbbing.

He touched his neck and found it was also very sore, as if he had been beaten.

"Fang Rui, Fang..." As soon as he said this, he realized that his voice was hoarse.

However, the sensible Fang Rui had already been waiting at the door. When he heard the call from inside the house, he quickly pushed the door open and came in.

"Master, you're awake." To be honest, he gently put down the hot water in his hand.

"What's wrong with my throat?" Situ Zhen was puzzled.

"Master, why don't you just stop... asking." Fang Rui looked embarrassed and hesitated to speak.

Situ Zhen frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it. How can a man be so hesitant?"

Fang Ruixin said: Since you insisted on asking this, I have no choice but to be impolite.

He made up his mind and gritted his teeth...

"Last night, you drank half a pot of Lihuabai that Mr. Xie gave you, and then you said you wanted to ask for Miss Xue's hand in marriage. We couldn't stop you no matter what, so we had to follow you to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion..."

Fang Rui told him the story in detail about how Situ Zhen had to climb over the wall into the Marquis' Mansion in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve to propose to Xue Chenyu.

Then he fell asleep in Miss Xue's room, and they finally went in and carried him out.

It would have been fine if it had only gone this far, but halfway there he woke up again and started yelling that he wanted to go back to find Xue Chenyu, saying, "If she doesn't agree to me, I'll kneel at her door and never get up."

Having said that, Situ Zhen's face no longer looked good.

Fang Rui could only sigh helplessly, "It was the middle of the night, and although there were people setting off firecrackers, your voice was simply too loud. Seventeen had no choice but to press your sleeping point and send you back."

Situ Zhen: “…”

"Hangover soup." He only said three words.

Fang Rui quickly turned around and went out, calling for someone to bring the hangover soup that had been prepared long ago.

Situ Zhen didn't care about the strange taste and drank it in one gulp.

Then he glanced at Fang Rui and said, "You can go now."

Fang Rui naturally wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. The reason his master hadn't gotten angry was because he hadn't remembered it yet. If he remembered it later, he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Fang Rui brought in breakfast and then left in a hurry.

As Situ Zhen washed up, the memories of last night came back to him one by one.

...How could he do such a rude thing, running up to the girl and saying that if she didn't marry him, she would have to stay at their house every day?

He also revealed the embarrassing incident of being rejected when he proposed to Marquis Xue.

Situ Zhen had a terrible headache.

This was the first time in his life that he knew how to write the words "shame and anger". He really felt ashamed to face anyone.

But those words came from his heart.

"call……"

He had done it and said it. If he went to tell Miss Xue that he was drunk and acted recklessly, it would only be more embarrassing.

Now that things have come to this, we might as well go all out.

Situ Zhen looked at his own reflection in the copper basin face and took a deep breath.

"This prince is so handsome, Xiao Chenyu will definitely not dislike me."

After all, she was the one who praised his good looks.

but.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Situ Zhen had to go to the palace to pay his respects to His Majesty, the Queen and the Queen Mother.

He had breakfast, took a hot bath, changed into a maroon round-necked robe with gold weaving, tied his hair up high, and wore a golden jade crown. He looked very suave and a nobleman.

lobby.

Prince Cheng, Princess Cheng, and Princess An Ning were all waiting for him. Oh, there was also a second young master who was slightly younger than Situ Zhen, sitting next to Princess Cheng.

Seeing Situ Zhen slowly walking in with Fang Rui, the second young master immediately snorted.

He sarcastically said, "You are so lazy all day long. Even the New Year's Day when you have to go to the palace to kowtow to His Majesty and the Queen Mother, you drag your feet and make my father and mother wait for you."

"Outsiders who don't know would think that everyone in Prince Cheng's Mansion is just like you, careless and unruly. I don't know what His Majesty values ​​so much, treating you like a precious treasure."

He spoke sarcastically, and Prince Cheng just glanced at him without saying anything.

The princess looked embarrassed. She tugged at the second young master's sleeve and whispered to him, "Stop talking."

"Why? Stop talking about it. It's my father who makes the decision for Prince Cheng's Mansion, not Situ Zhen. Why should everyone from top to bottom act according to his mood?" The second young master was very dissatisfied and even angry.

Seeing that his attitude was firm and difficult to persuade, the princess quickly looked at Situ Zhen and said, "...Prince, your brother is still young and his words are not important. You must not take it to heart."

Hear the words.

Before Situ Zhen could say anything, Princess An Ning burst out laughing. "Situ Shan is two years older than me. Mother always says that I'm too old and naive, but compared to him, I'm still young. Don't be so funny."

The princess's face flushed instantly. She never expected her daughter to ruin her plan.

"An Ning, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever say that..."?

Princess An Ning ignored them and walked straight towards Situ Zhen, "Brother, they didn't wait long. They were just looking for excuses to discredit you. Don't pay any attention to them."

"I know, and I don't take them seriously." Situ Zhen raised the corners of his mouth nonchalantly.

"Situ Zhen, what did you say?!" Second Young Master Situ Shan immediately jumped up. "How dare you disrespect my father and mother?! Who gave you the courage to be so ambitious?"

When Situ Zhen heard this, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes and he walked towards Situ Shan.

The princess stood up in a panic and stood in front of Situ Shan, "...Prince, your brother... he is ignorant. Don't bother with him. He..."

The princess was so anxious that she was incoherent.
